I tumble down
a well to find you
candle's out
drought weighs
hard and hungry
as does the knife
in my heart
you left uncalled
the morning bare
my appetite bare
everywhere turned
up grinning with
broken teeth since
you left
I could drown in a delta
filled with nails
fill the tributaries
with blood
with sorrow
Alas my heart pursues
where the trails yawns black
my head swamped by smoke
I beg you to cancel the flames
I beg you to take the torch out
I am slowly going out
lands and leaves
canyon wounds raise red hells
all my hells ring and lament
I shout and bang and reverbrate
your name to every cave
I carry on with dynamite
in my hands and your torch
in my head.
